FINANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 16, 2023
TO: Finance Committee
FROM: Accounting Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023 Third-Quarter Review
RECOMMENDATION: That Finance Committee:
A. Receive a report from staff on the status of revenues and expenditures in relation to budget for the nine months ended March 31, 2023;
B. Accept the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Interim Financial Statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2023; and
C. Recommend that Council approve proposed Third Quarter (Q3) adjustments to FY 2023 appropriations and estimated revenues as detailed in the attached schedule of Proposed Q3 adjustments.
DISCUSSION:
Each month, staff present interim financial statements (Attachment 1) showing the status of revenues and expenditures in relation to budget for City Funds. Each quarter, the interim financial statements are expanded to include a detailed narrative analysis of General Fund and Enterprise Funds (Attachment 2).
In addition to the Q3 budget analysis, staff bring forward recommended adjustments for City Council approval. These adjustments are a result of new information and/or unanticipated events that occurred since the adoption of the budget in June 2022. A listing and description of each proposed current year adjustment is provided in Attachment 3.
Due to economic uncertainties articulated in the FY2023 adopted budget, a required budget reduction plan of $1.0 million was implemented and allocated amongst all General Fund departments. Staff reviewed and consolidated Q3 revenue and expenditure adjustments into the Q3 report for City Council’s approval. For General Fund departments, budget reduction targets have been met or will be met by end-of-year.
These reductions help achieve a balanced budget, which mitigates risk.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
Fiscal Year 2023 Third-Quarter Review
May 16, 2023
The table below summarizes the General Fund revenue and expenditure budget including actuals through Q3. The total adopted revenue budget is $184.6 million and the total adopted expenditure budget is $185.7 million, resulting in an operating deficit of $1.1 million. The revised budget includes additional expenditures from encumbrances from prior year contractual commitments, along with any City Council approved adjustments since beginning of the year.
Staff anticipate continued economic recovery from the impacts of COVID-19, which aligns with sales/use tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue actual trends when comparing the prior fiscal year and FY2023 adopted budget. Staff are projecting that property tax revenue will be $1.2 million more than the adopted budget. Sales tax and TOT leveled off in FY2023. Staff is projecting a $2.7 million deficit in the General Fund by the end of FY2023 due to some lower department revenues, additional expenditure appropriations of $1.1 million for the short-term rental enforcement program in the City Attorney’s Office budget, and lower attrition savings from the recruiting and hiring of multiple City positions reducing the City’s vacancy rate.
Staff are not recommending any additional budget reduction strategies to balance the budget by the end of FY2023. However, staff will continue to closely monitor revenues, expenditures, fund balance, and reserves each month, and will provide a comprehensive financial projection during the fourth quarter report to address material economic changes.

In most cases, encumbrance balances exist at year-end. These encumbrance balances are obligations of each fund and must be reported at the beginning of each fiscal year. In addition, a corresponding appropriations entry must be made in order to accommodate the 'carried-over' encumbrance amount. Most differences between budgeted annual revenues and expenses are due to these encumbrance carryovers.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 1 General Fund Revenues
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Summary of Revenues, General Fund table below reports preliminary General Fund revenues for nine months ending March 31, 2023, in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. For interim financial statement purposes, revenues are reported on a cash basis (i.e., when funds are received). All revenues below have unique collection cycles, therefore may vary from other revenues and result in fluctuations when comparing historical actuals. This table highlights the annual revised budget, projected end-of-year actuals, and actual collections for general tax revenues, franchise fees, and other fees/charges.
Summary of Revenues, General Fund
Property Tax
In 1978, a State constitutional amendment (Article XIIIA) provided that the ad valorem real property tax rate be limited to 1% of market value and be levied only by the county and shared with all other jurisdictions. The County of Santa Barbara collects the property taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions because of the taxing jurisdictions’ assessed valuations, subject to adjustments for voter approved debt. Property taxes are formally due on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent as of December 10 and April 10, respectively. Taxes become a lien on the property effective March 1 of the preceding year.
As of March 31, 2023, approximately $24.3 Million in property tax revenues were received. During the budget setting process, 2.5% growth was anticipated in FY 2023 when comparing the previous year’s actuals. Actual revenues for this year are now trending to be $1.2 Million above budget. To ATTACHMENT 2
Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 2 note, Proposition 13 impacts the amount of property tax collected as it limits how much the taxable value of a property can rise every year. This property assessment occurs in January for the subsequent year at a restricted rate of 2% or Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is lessor.
Prior to FY 2022, this increase was 2% for several years. CPI in FY 2022 was 1.016% but returned to 2% in FY 2023.
Sales Taxes
Sales and use tax revenue, collected on a cash basis through March 31, 2023, is approximately $22.1 Million. Positive sales tax trends have been observed, likely due to a combination of increased consumer spending (particularly in online and auto sales) and higher than expected inflation. Sales tax, currently received, is 8% higher than forecasted at this point in the year and is trending to continue to exceed budgeted revenues for the remainder of FY 2023. Staff continue to monitor this revenue source closely and will evaluate a revised projection as remittances are received in preparation for the Quarter Four (Q4) report.
Measure C Sales Tax
On November 7, 2017, a 1% general sales tax measure (Measure C) was approved, with significant community support for infrastructure needs, which will generate the necessary funds required to improve the citywide PCI rating. Measure C sales tax revenue received at the end of Third Quarter (Q3) is approximately $23.7 Million on a cash basis, which is roughly 9% higher than expected. Staff will continue to monitor tax remittances received and may consider adjusting the FY 2023 projection at the end of Q4, as revenues will likely exceed the budget. Additional Measure C revenue will be programmed to support capital projects in future budget cycles.
Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue at Q3 is approximately $20.1 Million, which is significantly higher than collections in FY 2021 and FY 2022 because of COVID-19 impacts on the travel industry. There is a higher demand for rooms now that travel has picked up, however, the main cause of the growth is related to increases in average daily rates, which are 30%-40% higher than FY 2019 (pre-pandemic rates). TOT revenues are 10% higher than budget anticipated at the end of Q3, and it is likely that revenues will exceed budget at the end of FY 2023. Staff will continue to monitor this revenue source closely and will evaluate a revised projection as additional tax remittances are received in preparation for the Q4 report.
Department and Other Revenues
Cannabis tax revenues have seen a moderate decline (24%) primarily attributable to one Cannabis business, due to consolidation of operations and reduced sales in FY23 compared to FY22.
Various General Fund departments throughout the City generate revenue. These revenue sources have a revised budget of approximately $33.8 Million. Revenues from departments are comprised of various categories in the Summary of Revenues, General Fund table above, but for transparency purposes these variances are broken out by department in the Summary of Departmental Revenues, General Fund table below.

General Fund Expenditures
The Summary of Departmental Expenditures, General Fund table below summarizes General Fund year-to-date expenditures through March 31, 2023, compared to revised budget, and projected end-of-year actuals. The Revised Budget column represents the adopted budget, appropriation carryovers from the prior year, and all supplemental appropriations approved by the City Council in the current year. Encumbrances as of March 31, 2023, are shown separately from expense actuals as the inclusion of encumbrances within actuals can distort trends. The City uses encumbrances to control expenditure commitments for the year and to enhance cash management. Encumbrances represent commitments related to contracts not yet performed and purchase orders not yet filled (executory contracts; and open purchase orders). Commitments for such expenditure of monies are encumbered to reserve a portion of applicable appropriations.
Encumbrances still open at year-end are not accounted for as expenditures and liabilities but rather, as restricted or committed governmental fund balance.
The FY 2023 adopted budget included several targeted reduction plans to assist with lowering City expenditures. A balancing strategy of $1.0 Million was allocated across General Fund departments, including general reductions and salary-saving measures. Most departments have met or exceeded their goal. Staff remain confident that expenditures will align with or be below budget at end of year, and that reduction goals will be met.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 5 Expenditure Analysis by General Fund
The General Fund revised budget of $201.1 Million, which includes $7.9 Million in carried forward appropriations and encumbrances and any FY 2023 council approved amendments, is 68% exhausted ($137.3 Million) as of March 31, 2023. The Summary of Departmental Expenditures, General Fund table above shows performance at department level. 43.5% of the total budget, including Non-Departmental Expenditures, is appropriated to provide public safety services through the Police and Fire Departments. Community Services comprises 14.7% of the total budget, which includes the City’s Parks and Recreation and Library Departments. General Government makes up
11.7% of appropriations which includes Finance, City Administration, Mayor & Council, City Attorney, Human Resources, and City Clerk departments.
General Government actual spending of approximately $15.4 Million, represents 66% of its associated annual budget through Q3. In the Human Resources Department, savings are largely due to the pending Classification and Compensation Study that was approved by City Council on April 11, 2023, and is now at the beginning stages for expenditures. The Finance Department and City Administrator’s Office are trending to align with budget.
Public Safety actual spending of approximately $59.5 Million, represents 68% of associated annual budget. Lower expense trends are mainly related to staffing shortages through Q3 of FY 2023.
The Police Department (PD) expended $34.7 Million (66%) of its budget. PD has been challenged with on-going staffing shortages, including 25 sworn positions and 22 professional positions. There are also three officers on long term disability due to injury on duty. Some relief will be seen once the five people in the April academy graduate in October 2023. Staff continue to manage schedule and staffing needs to ensure appropriate coverage for the City. Two open officer positions supported expenditure reduction targets, other savings achieved through staffing shortages will be used to purchase new body worn cameras and tasers. Additional discussions between the Police Chief and the City Administrator regarding staffing and equipment needs will continue to occur and adjustments will be proposed accordingly. PD is currently projecting $2.4 Million in savings within their expenditure budget, which includes the purchase of $1.3 Million in equipment and providing $190,000 in financial support to the Street Sweeping program. Some expenditure savings are related to special projects that have not materialized but may as activities generally occur end of year. There are ARPA funds available for homeless services/co-response program and an additional co-response team will be created when the County establishes their second team. The goal is to activate the second team in the Spring.
The Fire Department (FD) expended $24.8 Million, using 71% of its budget. Most operational costs are tracking at or below expected levels. Minimum staffing overtime will continue to exceed budget due to six vacancies and four operational personnel positions that require coverage due to injury leave. If the overtime trend continues as it has for nine months of FY 2023, budget in this category will be exceeded by approximately $979,000. An additional overtime impact is related to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as it is underfunded (by $136,000) for the second year in a row. Vegetation Management will require a roll-over of approximately $265,000 to FY 2024 to maximize the impact of the funding. These funds will be used to supplement a grant awarded by the Coastal Conservancy.
Community Services had actual expenditures of $18.9 Million, or 64% of associated budget.
Savings is anticipated based on this performance trend.
Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 6 The Library Department spent $4.8 Million, or 63% of its annual budget through Q3 FY 2023.
The Library continues to be open at reduced hours post-COVID and has limited access to the public at Central Library due to construction. While most of the Lower, Main, and Upper Levels are now open in Q4, this reduced access had significant impacts on user fees and service charges due to the construction projects taking longer than expected. The Library has started selling Merchandise, which will provide additional revenue. The main source of revenue loss projected is from donations: most of the donations received by the Library are restricted rather than for general use. The Central Library construction has also impacted revenue at the Eastside Library, as Central Library staff are using space at the Eastside Library that would normally be rentable space. Despite these challenges, the Library has continued to deliver materials and services through various means, including in-person, virtually, and through the Library on the Go Van, which provides offsite convenient services. Savings in the General Fund for Q3 are due to multiple unexpected vacancies, which are expected to be filled by year end. Required reductions have been met through holding a full-time position vacant.
Parks and Recreation (P&R) Department had Q3 expenditures of $14.1 Million (65% of its annual budget). Following years of drought, the City experienced heavy rain and windy weather conditions throughout the months of January, February, and March 2023. The winter storm of January 9 impacted the P&R Department and its services significantly, as it flooded the Municipal Tennis Center parking lot, courts, and building, and the Bath Street Pocket Park; washed a significant amount of debris onto City beaches; washed away 12 East Beach Volleyball Courts; damaged Parma, Rattlesnake, Cold Spring, and Tunnel Trails; created a small landslide onto the Thousand Steps beach access; and resulted in mudslides at Franceschi Park. Many trees were also damaged, including 54 street and park trees. While some of the damage such as the Municipal Tennis Center building are being addressed through allocated facility costs, the remaining impacts have been absorbed by the General Fund.
Due to several permanent positions held vacant in Q1, P&R achieved FY 2023 required budget reduction targets (1% of expenditure budget), additionally a large portion of savings is due to the reduction in non-contractual services related to the Trapeze Camp and other programs. An important thing to note is that most Recreation programs are pay to play, therefore any revenue shortfall is generally offset by expenditure savings. The Department continues to provide essential services, such as park maintenance to ensure that the community has access to safe and clean open spaces, food distribution and senior meal programs, recreation programming, camps, and affordable activities for youth and adults. Aside from core functions, the P&R Department continues to advance key capital infrastructure planning, design, and construction to ensure safe and accessible conditions.
The Public Works Department (PWD) had expenditures of $7.0 Million, or 61% of its annual budget for FY 2023. Engineering and Land Development vacancies contribute to the large expenditure shortfall in Q3, with some savings due to position turnovers in Administration.
Discretionary spending is being kept at a minimum (use of in-house resources, and through supply reductions), and there is savings from lower than anticipated costs in both Supplies and Services and Special Projects (including environmental compliance for lower abatement needs).
Revenues and expenditures will continue to be closely monitored and staff will provide an update at Q4 of any significant issues if they arise.
The Sustainability & Resilience (S&R) Department had expenditures of $24,187 related to the CalRecycle program that is solely grant funded. The CalRecycle program’s mission is to protect California’s environment and climate for the health and prosperity of future generations through the reduction, reuse and recycling of California resources, environmental education, disaster Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 7 recovery, and the transition from a disposable to a fully circular economy.
The Community Development Department (CDD) had expenditures of $9.8 Million or 62% of its annual budget. If you include encumbrances totaling $477,878 for professional services agreements related to plan checks, building inspections, municipal code codification services, and Human Service Grant Awards, the percentage of funds used is 65%; all encumbrances are expected to be fully exhausted this year. There are significant savings in Salary and Benefits due to the high number of vacancies that the department is actively recruiting for, many of which have now been filled. The department has experienced a high employee attrition rate during the past couple of years. CDD anticipates reaching a healthy 6-8% vacancy rate later this year. If the recommended transfer of $824K to Fund 1030 is approved, the anticipated expenditure savings for CDD would be reduced from $1.2 Million to $375K.
Non-Departmental expenditures include transfers from the General Fund to other funds. Majority of transfers occurring are to the Measure C fund which supports various capital maintenance and improvement projects. Anticipated year-end attrition savings are also recorded here, which helps balance variances achieved. Prior quarter, a transfer of $4.0 Million from the General Fund into the Self-Insurance fund (SIF) was adopted to address the growing underfunded reserves in the SIF. The actuarial recommended reserve level in the SIF grew from $18.3 Million in FY 2022 to $24.4 Million in FY 2023 – a $6.1 Million increase. The additional allocations into the SIF in FY 2023 and planned for FY 2024 and beyond are not adequate to bring reserves up to the actuarial recommended level; therefore, staff will consider transferring additional General Fund resources, as available, into the SIF which is in line with Council’s prior direction to allocate additional resources to address the underfunded position, in future budget cycles.
General Fund Reserves Projection
The General Fund, Fund Balance table below summarizes reserve projections for FY 2023, compared to actual reserves from prior years. General Fund has two reserve targets, Disaster Reserves and Contingency Reserves.
General Fund Reserves, Balance Summary
The Disaster Reserve is restricted to use in addressing the financial impacts of natural disasters, such as storms, floods, wildfires, droughts, tsunamis, earthquakes, and any other event that results in significant damage to City facilities and infrastructure or a significant reduction of normal operating revenues. The amount of the required Disaster Reserve is calculated based on 15% of the most recently adopted fiscal year operating expenditure budget.

Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 8 The purpose of the Contingency Reserve is to allow for the orderly implementation of a balancing strategy to address the fiscal impacts of unexpected events to minimize the impacts to the organization and community. The most common of these events would be an economic recession that results in a significant impact on key revenues such as sales, transient occupancy, or property taxes. The Contingency Reserve is calculated based on 10% of the most recently adopted fiscal year operating expenditure budget. This table summarizes General Fund reserve targets of 15% Disaster and 10% Contingency as required by City Council Resolution No. 22-126, which amended Resolution No. 12-066 and rescinded Resolution No. 18-056. Any use of the Disaster or Contingency reserves requires a majority vote of approval by the City Council. Staff will continue to address anticipated changes to reserves based on projections in future quarterly reports to City Council.
The FY 2023 adopted budget required strategic use of a small number of reserves to balance the budget. Reserves were largely replenished by the end of FY 2022; however, they are projected to decline slightly by the end of FY 2023. The SIF is still underfunded based on the actuarial recommended level, which continues to present a burden on the General Fund.
The graph below summarizes the General Fund Reserves since FY 2005, including a projection of ending reserves at the end of FY 2023. The FY 2023 adopted budget appropriated use of $1.0 Million of reserves to balance the budget reduced reserves below policy targets in FY 2023. FY 2023 also includes the use of carryforward appropriation from FY 2022, which is included in the revised budget. Per the City Council revised reserve policy, 50% of the surplus would be allocated to address the ongoing pension costs and liabilities, and the remaining 50% would remain in General Fund reserves to address future budget challenges.

Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for refuse revenues received from customers, payments remitted to the trash hauler, and franchise and recycling fees paid by hauler that are used for recycling programs in the City. Solid Waste Revenues are at $25.8 Million at the end of Q3, which aligns with targeted budget. Much of this revenue source is related to Solid Waste service charges ($25.3 Million). The Solid Waste Fund is 3.3% ahead of the prior year’s revenues when comparing the same period (first nine months). Expenditures are $23.9 Million (68.3% of its budget).

The Water Fund accounts for the provisions of water services to the residents of the City and some residents of the County. Through the first nine months of FY 2023, Water Fund revenues have totaled approximately $51.9 Million, or 73.6% of its adopted budget, which includes anticipated seasonal variance in revenues related to higher water demand in summer months.
Due to recent storm events, there was a slight shift in water use and because of this, staff anticipate a decrease of 3.8% in rate revenue by year end.
Expenditures ended Q3 at 64.2% of its annual budget, excluding encumbrances, or approximately $46.2 Million. Encumbrances (committed actuals) of $4.8 Million bring expenditures up to 70.9% of annual budget, which includes contracted services to be expended throughout the year. Largely due to vacancies and Special Projects (emergency pumping barge), staff anticipates expenditures to be under budget by $3.3 Million. Given the plentiful rainfall this year staff are no longer anticipating the need to purchase water this year.
Wastewater Fund
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the provision of sewer services to the residents of the City and some residents of the County. Q3 revenues are on target at $20.2 Million (73.5% of its annual budget). Only a portion of Wastewater rates depend on water usage, which explains why there is less variability in Wastewater rate revenue when compared to Water rate revenue. Various other revenue sources such as interest income, sewer tap fees, pre-treatment analysis, and Fats-OilsGrease (FOG) disposal fees experienced small variances that contributed to the overall balance of revenues.
Expenditures are below budget at $19.1 Million (67.6% of its annual budget). Encumbrances of $1.2 Million bring expenditures up to 71.9% of annual budget. The timing of payments for services and/or obligations account for most variances seen at Q3. Staff turnover continues to drive savings, as does lower than anticipated contracted lab support, reduction in facilities maintenance, and reduced participation in the video assistance program.
Downtown Parking Fund
Downtown Parking Fund accounts for the provision of parking services in the downtown area of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, billing and collection of fees, capital acquisition, construction, and financing and related debt service. At Q3, actual revenues for Downtown Parking are approximately $7.4 Million or 69.7% of its annual budget. Service charges are down slightly, mainly due to difficulty staffing hourly lots for self-service in the mornings and decreased demand. Increased hourly parking fees coupled with minimal on-street enforcement may encourage street parking; the decrease in service charges is partially offset by increased monthly parking revenue. Other revenue factors include the Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA) assessment exceeding projected budget by nearly $144,000, due to stronger business activity Downtown. Conversely, Intergovernmental revenue had a shortfall of approximately $41,000 due to staffing shortages within the Crossing Guard Program.
Overall expenditures for Q3 are $7.4 Million, or 68.7% of its annual budget. Continued vacancies, including a Parking Supervisor, Parking Resources Specialist, and Parking Maintenance Coordinator, contribute to much of these savings. Savings in Supplies and Services, and Special Projects are mainly due to unspent encumbrances of approximately $844,868 that are anticipated Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 11 to be largely expended by year end. Additional savings are anticipated related to the PBIA assessment study that remains on hold because changes to the State Street Promenade make it difficult to assess the benefits to Downtown businesses based on proximity to the parking facilities.
Clean Energy Fund
The Clean Energy Fund accounts for the cost to procure clean and renewable electricity on behalf of the Santa Barbara Community. The Santa Barbara Clean Energy Fund began operation in October 2021 and started receiving revenue in Q2 FY 2022. Revenues are typically recorded one-month in arrears, so while a typical Q3 report would have nine months of activity, this report only contains eight months of activity. Through eight months, revenues are approximately 75% of budget, which is trending above projection. The energy rates that SBCE charges customers are tied to the rates that Southern California Edison (SCE) charges customers (a slight 1.6 cent per kilowatt-hour premium above the SCE rate). SCE’s rates can change throughout the year, and recently, SCE instituted a substantial rate increase in February and plans another increase to go into effect June 2023. This will result in SBCE’s projected revenues surpassing its budgeted revenues perhaps by as much as $9.0 Million.
Expenditures for the SBCE Fund through Q3 are approximately $25.2 Million or 75.2% of the budget. There has been significant volatility in the cost of energy in the open market, which led to large one-time increases in September and December. At this point, staff believe expenditures at year end will surpass the budget by roughly $5.2 Million. The combined effect of the increases in revenue and expenditures means that SBCE is projected to enjoy a significant positive variance at year end, which will help bolster reserves of this young fund.
Airport Fund
The Airport Fund accounts for the operation of the municipal airport and the administration of leases of airport property. The Airport Department continues to see a sustained level of commercial airline passenger activity since the beginning of summer in June 2022. Commercial passenger counts hit a new monthly record of 120,000 in October 2022 and just saw the highest February passenger count ever with 96,000 monthly passenger count. Weather related and technical nationwide issues with Southwest Airlines contributed to the sharp decline in December and January passenger counts. Commercial/industrial lease revenue is behind projection due to unfilled Property Division vacancies needed to support necessary workload, but terminal revenue sources show positive trend (ground transportation, rental cars, and parking). Commercial Aviation revenue is trending below budget but should be closer to budget by fiscal year end. Total revenue collected through March 31, 2023, is approximately $18.8 Million or 69% of its annual budget.
Total Airport expenses of $18.5 Million and $2.7 Million in encumbrances encompass 69.6% of its annual budget. The airport is actively recruiting to fill vacancies to ensure operational needs are met. The Airport is seeking additional appropriations to support the Parking Program, which has grown into the Airport’s largest revenue source. They are also seeking authorization to reprogram existing appropriations to support the replacement of two terminal boilers, HVAC system repair, and internet fiber installation.
Golf Fund
The Golf Course Fund accounts for the operation of the municipal golf course. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, capital acquisition and construction, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection of fees. At Q3, actual Golf revenues are $2.9 Million Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 12 or 72.7% of its annual budget. Paid rounds and concession performance are projected to exceed budget this fiscal year. Despite the rainy weather experienced in Q3, the golf course is experiencing high use of the facility and is on target to achieve 64,295 paid rounds of golf which is 2% (1,679 rounds) ahead of budget. Mulligans, the golf course restaurant concessionaire, continues to perform well as the department projects 9.6% in additional revenue above budget.
As a result of achieving budget, the City anticipates that the operator will receive an incentive fee for a third consecutive year.
Expenditures at Q3 are $2.2 Million (62.2% of annual budget), which is consistent with projected levels. Encumbrances of $1.1 Million for contracted services will be spent by the end of the fiscal year. The Department requests to utilize $412,399 of Golf Fund Reserves to pay the Golf Safety Improvement Master Plan Loan in full. The current amount of revenue in the Golf Fund reserves is $1.5 Million above Reserve Policy requirements, and the Department is projected to return $593,371 to the Reserve by the end of FY 2023.
Waterfront Fund
The Waterfront Fund accounts for the operation of the City managed waterfront that includes a public wharf, a small craft harbor, and parking facilities. Waterfront’s revenues and expenditures for Q3 of FY 2023 show signs of business recovery. Actual revenues for Q3 are $14.1 Million or
82.5% of its annual budget. Slip Permit Transfer Fees are down 23.75% when compared to the prior year. A total of 63 transfers took place in Q3 representing $890,775 in revenue. Commercial and Food Service Lease revenues (including both Stearns Wharf and the Harbor) are both up compared to last year. Parking revenue is up approximately 11.62% ($305,422) versus last year.
Staff are projecting to exceed FY 2023 budgeted revenues by nearly $895,000 or 5%.
Actual expenditures for Q3 are $13.3 Million (69.2% of annual budget) and encumbrances are $959,765, collectively representing 74.2% of the Waterfront’s total annual budget. Salaries and Benefits finished slightly below budget for Q3. The savings are the result of numerous positions being held vacant. As of March 31, 2023, Waterfront operations are forecasting expenditure savings of over $1,350,000.
The Waterfront Department incurred approximately $2.5 Million in costs because of the January 2023 storms and swell events. As a result, the Department made use of reserves to cover these costs and acted quickly to make repairs and cleanup. As an Emergency Declaration was declared at the Federal, State, and Local levels, it is the intent of the Waterfront to go after all available reimbursement funding options. The Waterfront is actively working with other City departments and the City’s Emergency Services Manager to seek reimbursement from FEMA.
Enterprise Operating Funds: Year-End Projected Reserves The Enterprise Operating Funds, Reserves table below summarizes the anticipated impact on reserves in each major enterprise fund at the end of FY 2023 compared to policy reserve targets.
Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 13 Enterprise Operating Funds, Reserves
For FY 2023, all enterprises aside from Clean Energy and Downtown Parking, are anticipated to have a funded position. It was mentioned Q2 that the Clean Energy fund would propose a reserve policy, this occurred and was adopted December 8, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-126. This policy noted that the Solid Waste and Clean Energy Enterprise Operating Funds shall utilize the contingency reserve to buffer a significant loss in revenue or the impacts of significant rate increases, and the use of these reserves should be considered one-time revenue as future rates will need to be adjusted to address any ongoing expense increases.
Interdepartmental Services Operating Fund Revenues and Expenses The City has established internal service funds for centralized services that provide support across most or all funds and departments. These functions primarily include Fleet, Facilities, Risk Management, Creeks, and Information Technology. The interim quarterly reports would typically not discuss in detail major changes in the City’s internal services departments and funds, as major changes typically do not occur during the year.
Self-Insurance Fund
The City purchases insurance policies to cap its exposure to loss for specific hazards. The SIF accumulates revenues through an annual allocation from departments as an expenditure to each department. The SIF then funds the program’s annual renewals for insurance coverage for claims that may arise, and to cover salaries/benefits of staff administering the program.
The SIF has had and is projected to have challenges in receiving adequate annual allocations to the fund from operating departments and not having adequate reserves in the fund to pay future claims. The cost to the City to retain existing property, excess general liability, and other insurance programs has increased substantially over the years. Liability coverage has become more expensive across the nation due to various substantial claims; notable claims related to law enforcement and droughts and wildfires in the Western United States and California included.
The adopted budget included additional allocations into the SIF to begin to increase reserves to achieve the actuarial recommended level over the next nine years. Expenditures of $10.1 Million represent 71% of total budgeted expenditures through Q3; however, multiple, active claims and other litigation will result in claim payments by the end of FY 2023. Staff anticipate total claim payments to exceed the expenditure budget in FY 2023. Staff will monitor claim payment activity and will likely request a budget adjust during Q4 to increase expenditure appropriation by using reserves.

Fiscal Year 2023 Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 (75% of Year Elapsed) 14 The most current actuarial report recommended a SIF balance of $24.1 Million by the end of FY 2023, a $5.8 Million increase from the prior fiscal year.
On November 16, 2021, staff presented an overview to the Finance Committee of major changes anticipated in the insurance industry, budget considerations for FY 2022 and FY 2023, and substantial increases to operating department allocations into the SIF to ensure ongoing premium and claim payments costs can be met, and adequate reserves are achieved. The Finance Committee unanimously supported implementing a plan to gradually increase allocations into the SIF over the next nine fiscal years to achieve target reserves at or near the actuarial recommended level. Staff built these allocation increases into the FY 2023 budget.
Staff proposed a $4.0 Million transfer from the General Fund into the SIF by the end of FY 2023.
This action was adopted during Q2 and will help stabilize the SIF reserves further to fund the City’s insurance programs and reduce future funding challenges.
The graph below, Self-Insurance Fund, Actuarial Recommendation, shows the actuarial recommended reserve, the actual/projected cash in the SIF over the past 12 years, and the gradual/substantial reduced reserve levels in recent years.

COST RECOVERY & REVENUE POLICY
Policy No.

ATTACHMENT
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish a Citywide cost recovery and revenue policy by identifying cost recovery factors and concepts that should be considered for setting cost recovery target levels for each program offered by the City. This Policy allows the City services users, staff, and general taxpayers to better understand the philosophy behind pricing of a program or service. The policy is based on the cost recovery goal for the service established by the City to provide the service and whether the service is a public, public and individual, or primarily an individual benefit service.
Background
The City of Santa Barbara is simultaneously accountable for maintaining a sustainable budget that benefits the overall community and one that also responds to the interests of the individuals who live here. While the primary mission of government is to satisfy community needs, many City services solely benefit specific individuals or businesses. It is the intention of this policy to establish cost recovery levels so that the public at large is not subsidizing activities that benefit individual recipients through general tax revenues. The foundation of effective cost recovery is a well-conceived, regularly reviewed policy. Such a policy provides a guideline for setting equitable fees given the full cost of each service, allowing optimum cost-recovery rates for defined services, and alleviating unintended subsidization of these services from General Fund resources.
A cost recovery policy provides guidelines for setting fees given the full cost of service. It does not bind policymakers to increasing or decreasing fees but does provide rationale for doing so. The lower fees are set, relative to full cost recovery, the more General Fund dollars are required to maintain the service. This additional support must then be weighed against the other needs for General Fund resources, including needs which may not have similar cost recovery options.
Cost recovery does not imply that the target is total recovery of the cost; however, a target is established according to a variety of considerations and may range from 0% to more than 100% of direct costs.
Principles, Definitions, & Criteria:
The guiding principles for the creation of an effective pricing policy are as follows:
Accessibility, Fairness, and Affordability based on the category of service and benefit level. Effective and appropriate funding strategies from General Fund, user fees, and other sources.
Improved efficiency in the cost of providing programs, services, and facilities. Financial sustainability by achieving established cost recovery targets.

DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Public Services are services the City offers that provide all users the same level of opportunity to access the service. The level of benefit is the same to all users. Public Services normally have low or no user fees associated with their consumption. The cost for providing these services is borne by the General Fund.
Public and Individual Benefit Services are services whereby the user receives a higher level of benefit than the general taxpayer. The taxpayer benefits as a whole because the service provides a more livable community and the service has a good public benefit as well. Public and Individual Services can be priced using either a partial overhead pricing strategy or a variable cost pricing strategy. Partial overhead pricing strategies recover all direct operating costs and some determined portion of fixed indirect costs. Variable cost pricing strategies recover a determined portion of the fixed direct costs by adding a markup to the variable costs. The expectation is that the markup will contribute to meeting all or a part of fixed direct costs and generate some level of indirect cost recovery. The portion of fixed indirect costs not recovered by the price established represents the subsidy. Whatever the level of subsidy, staff needs to inform the users by letting them know that the City is investing a certain dollar amount and/or what percentage level of investment they are making in their experience.
Individual Benefit Services are services where only the user benefits. For these services, the City should implement a pricing strategy to achieve full cost recovery. The price of this service is intended to recover all direct and indirect costs associated with providing the service.
Direct Expenses are City costs associated with staff, materials and supplies, and other resources associated with providing the program, service, or operating the facility. Direct expenses also include the proportional cost of the program or facility supervisor, coordinator, or administrative personnel based on the time required to plan, organize, and direct the operation of that program, service, or facility.
Indirect Expenses are the cost of the City Departments to provide the program or facility. Indirect expenses include Department Administration, marketing, information technology, and facility or maintenance staff. Indirect expenses also include City wide functionalities such as Human Resources, Information Technology, Fleet, Facilities, Finance, City Administrator, and City Attorney time associated with supporting the operation of the program or facility, among other expenses.
Cost Recovery Percentage outlined in this Policy is based on Direct Expenses only and does not include Indirect Expenses. It is generally recommended that an additional 5%-10% be added to the fees established for Important and Value-Added programs, services, and facilities, and 0%-5% for Core Services programs, services, and facilities, to attempt to offset some portion of the Indirect Expenses associated with providing those activities.

CORE SERVICES (0%-20% Cost Recovery)
Core services are those programs, services, and facilities that the City of Santa Barbara must provide and/or are essential in order to capably govern the municipality and operate. The failure to provide a core service at an adequate level would result in a significant negative consequence relative to the City’s health and safety and economic and community vitality. The criteria for a core service are:
City of Santa Barbara is mandated by law or is contractually obligated by agreement to provide the service.
The service is essential to protecting and supporting the public’s health and safety. The service protects and maintains valuable City assets and infrastructure. The City’s residents, business customers, and partners would generally and reasonably expect and support the City in providing the service, and that service is one that cannot or should not be provided by the private sector, and provides a sound investment of public funds.
Examples of City functions that are considered Core Services include elections, City Council material distribution, Boards and Commissions, filings, records management, fire services, library services, Parks and Recreation Centers and Community Centers, maintenance of parks, and safety and noise enforcement by Police.
IMPORTANT SERVICES (20%-80% Cost Recovery)
Important services are those programs, services, and facilities the City should provide, and are important to governing the municipality and effectively serving its residents, businesses, customers, and partners. Providing important services expands or enhances the ability to provide and sustain the City’s core services, health and safety, and economic and community vitality. The criteria for an important service are:
Service provides, expands, enhances, or supports identified core services. Services are broadly supported and utilized by the community, and are considered an appropriate, important, and valuable public good. Public support may be conditional upon how the service is paid for or funded.
Service generates income or revenue that offsets some or all of its operating cost and/or is deemed to provide an economic, social, or environmental outcome or result within the community.
Examples of Important Services include water heater installation permits, hazardous materials fees, fire permit/safety inspection/safety plan check fees, Parks & Recreation youth sports leagues, and animal/vehicle impounding.

VALUE-ADDED SERVICES (80%-100% Cost Recovery)
Value-Added services are discretionary programs, services, and facilities that the City may provide when additional funding or revenue exists to offset the cost of providing those services. These programs and services provide added value to the residents, businesses, customers, and partners above and beyond what is required or expected of a municipality. The criteria for added value services are:
Service expands, enhances, or supports Core or Important services, and the quality of life of the community.
Services are supported and well utilized by the community and provide an appropriate and valuable public benefit.
Service generates income or funding from sponsorships, grants, user fees, or other sources that offsets some or all of its cost and/or provides a meaningful economic, social, or environmental benefit to the community.
Examples of Value-Added Services include Citizen CPR classes, fire extinguisher training, afterschool programs, summer camps, animal vaccination, and dead animal disposal.
ACCESSIBILITY, FAIRNESS AND AFFORDABILITY
This Policy supports equity and fairness because it requires those who personally benefit from a program or service above what the general taxpayer receives to pay for that added benefit.
Affordability should be based on both the level of benefit and ability to pay. For example, the City should not subsidize programs with tax support solely based on the age of the user. The type of service and benefit received will directly determine the cost recovery level or pricing strategy to be used in the pricing of the services and products.
SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING
Supplemental funding from user fees and prices charged for programs, activities, and services assist in the overall funding of the City’s operations. The revenue produced through supplemental funding provides the City the needed revenue for operations, capital costs, and marketing to promote programs and services available to the community. These dollars can come from any source that supports operations and include grants, sponsorships, partnerships, permits, special rental uses, concessions, and many other options. The City should identify supplemental funding opportunities whenever possible and where appropriate.
EFFECTIVENESS
City staff can evaluate how the service is delivered and if it is delivered in the most effective and efficient manner, based on the cost to deliver the service. Priorities to enhance user or visitor experiences are clearly defined, because the services provided are made visible and the priorities are

established based on the direct user costs that are associated with the activities that users want. Pricing City services correctly can achieve these positive results:
1. Reduces overcrowding of programs and facilities, which enhances supervision and improves visitor experience.
2. Indicates user and visitor demand and support for the service.
3. Increases positive user and visitor feedback.
4. Provides encouragement to the private sector to partner with Departmental programs through contracts that can bring greater revenue to the City.
5. Ensures stronger accountability on staff and management of the service.
6. Creates program choices for those who want a higher level of quality or individual attention. (i.e., private lessons versus group lessons) through differential pricing.
DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUE FUNDS TO ACHIEVE COST RECOVERY GOALS Distribution of Revenue means dollars generated from each activity are redistributed back to the area they came from to pay direct and indirect costs in some situations, and for future improvements associated with a facility or activity. The staff will document the cost of services provided through a costing model. The true cost of each activity is designated as direct and indirect costs associated with providing a product or service. An annual review of all prices is recommended to document the changes that have occurred within the products or services provided by City. This will help staff to evaluate which program, product, or service should have adjustments based on the Policy.
City of Santa Barbara City Council and staff will set prices for services based on the following assessment:
What is the cost to provide the service and what is the unit cost per registered participant or attendance at the program or facility?
Is the program or service core, important, or value added based on the criteria established and the level of cost recovery and subsidy?
What level of benefit does the program provide? Is the benefit public, individual and public, or primarily an individual benefit based on the definitions in the pricing policy? Does this price support the cost recovery goal desired for the program or facility to support sustainability?
Pricing Policies & Procedures:
Key Elements in implementing the Pricing Policy include:
Create appropriate value based on benefit level and price accordingly. Calculate the costs (direct/indirect) and level of cost recovery goal as established for that service.

Compare how the program price of facility use cost compares in the marketplace of private and public providers.
Price services correctly the first time based on cost and target for cost recovery. Use differential pricing based on participant, product, and times to encourage greater use of the service or facility.
Educate staff, volunteers, boards, and officials on the methodology to establish cost recovery, level of subsidy, and eventual price for program, service, or facility. Communicate cost of service to program and facility users so they understand how their fees contribute to the total cost of the service and level of subsidy from City.
ESTABLISH PRICING/COST RECOVERY CRITERIA
Does this program/service align with the Departmental Vision and Mission? The program/service meets at least one of the City’s strategic directions. The program has a strong social value that is supportive of an identified strategic direction. The program, service, or facility is capable of achieving its established cost recovery target. The program has strong economic appeal and creates a positive return on investment. The program has a high partnering capability to expand or enhance service and/or offset operational costs.
The program/service currently meets the capacity performance measures developed by staff. What classification of Benefit Level does it fall under (Public, Public and Individual, or Individual)?
What is the true cost to provide the service and current level of subsidy? What is the current price of the service and what level of cost recovery does it support now? What pricing alternatives are currently being used?
PRICING AND COST RECOVERY GOALS
Public Benefit Services = Core Direct Cost Recovery (0%-20%) Core services provide the broadest public and community benefit to the City of Santa Barbara, and should be primarily funded by the City’s General Fund and tax support. A higher level of tax support is appropriate, as it helps the City achieve key elements of its strategic plan and support the values of the City in serving the public.
Public and Individual Benefit Services = Important Direct Cost Recovery (20%-80%) Important services provide both a public, as well as individual, benefit to the program or service user.
The City should provide these services at a shared funding strategy that requires the participant to pay a portion of the cost through user fees. Additionally, the City may utilize grants or partner funding to

augment the cost of the program/service. The City should subsidize these programs/services with the General Fund based on a targeted percentage of cost recovery.
Individual Benefit Services = Value Added Direct Cost Recovery (80%-100%) Value added services primarily provide an individual and private benefit to the program or service user. Consequently, the City should recover the cost of providing these programs and services through user and rental fees. Additionally, the City may provide value added programs when outside funding, grants, or sponsorships exist that substantially offset the cost of providing these programs. Pricing for these programs, services, or facility use should be established based on a consideration of cost to the City and market rate for comparable programs, services, or facility use.
PRICING METHODOLOGIES
Pricing programs, services, and use of facilities should be based on a consideration of both direct and indirect cost to City of Santa Barbara as well as the “market-based value” of the service. Pricing should be evaluated annually, and comparison rates should be considered during that process as needed. Flexibility is needed to maximize Department revenues and to respond to changing market conditions such as demand versus capacity, weather, changes to the cost of providing the service, and/or additions or changes to existing programs.
Pricing Options to consider:
Differential between resident and non-resident rates
Prime time/non-prime time rates
Group or Volume Discount rates
In season/off season rates
Increase the minimum numbers required to hold the program (low cost-high volume approach) to spread cost to more people while keeping price the same Reduce the staffing or material cost or length of a program/service to keep existing price Change the City/Contractor percentage split to increase revenue to the City
NON-RESIDENT FEE DIFFERENTIAL
The criteria for establishing the differential percentage charged for non-residents for programs, services, or facility rentals will generally be as follows:
A higher general fund subsidy by the City will justify a higher non-resident fee. Conversely, a lower non-general fund subsidy of a program or service will justify a lower or no fee differential.
Higher demand by City residents or limitations in capacity will justify higher non-resident fees. Conversely, a low demand or high capacity will justify a lower or no fee differential.

ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD COST RECOVERY (INDIRECT COSTS)
In addition to the direct cost recovery targets established for individual programs, the City should establish a percentage of cost recovery for programs, services, and facility use. The administrative overhead fee is designed to recover the proportional cost of the administration, marketing and advertising, and general support staff which contribute time and expense in supporting the programs.
In general, this fee should be established to recover an additional 5%-10% of the cost of the programs.
It is important to note this does not address building maintenance, replacement, etc.
FEE CHANGES
On an annual basis, coordinated with the City’s budget process, department staff will propose changes to existing fees, new fees, and deleting obsolete fees in line with this policy. The proposed fee changes will be presented to the Finance Committee for initial consideration. Proposed fee changes will also be presented to the City Council as part of the budget review process and adopted along with the annual budget.
Fee changes may be considered as part of a fee study as well as being annually adjusted based on a commonly used index for a specific type of fee or service, such as a consumer price index (CPI) inflationary assumption.
Fee changes can be considered outside of the annual budget review process as necessary and coordinated with the Finance Director and City Administrator.
